Computational Analysis of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Data (U01)
The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications from researchers to develop and apply new computational analysis methods to data from the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project, with the goal of improving and interpreting the catalogs of candidate functional elements in the human and mouse genomes that the ENCODE Project has produced. Computational analysis activities supported by this FOA could include, for example, developing new methods to improve on analysis and interpretation of ENCODE data, combining ENCODE data with related functional genomic data from other projects to derive new biological insights, using the ENCODE data to improve on the analysis of disease mapping studies to identify causal variants, or developing tools for functional annotation and interpretation of individual genomes in support of personalized genomic medicine efforts.
